I left this afternoon to get some gas for the tractor and stop at the P.O. to mail some letters.

Met the town grader coming up through just a little ways below the driveway so I backed up and into the drive to get out of his way as he had the wing down and a good blade full of snow. Thought it weird that they were plowing with the grader as they usually just use it to wing the snow banks back.
Anyway on the way back from the store the grader is at the town garage so I stopped to see what was up. Turns out the newest of the town trucks ( only have 2) threw a fan belt, one of those serpentine jobbies, up on top of Wiley Hill road and he had to leave it there and got a ride back to the garage to get the grader. Great time for the truck to be down in the middle of the biggest storm this year so I volunteered to go up and drive it back down to the garage ( it was cooled off by then and it's almost all down hill from there). One of the Selectmen showed up about then and gave me a ride up.

Plowed my way back down the hill and had to stop to let it cool before I went up the last hill.
Had to take the plow off as it won't fit in the garage with it on.
Bottom line........nobody has a belt for it. I'll have to find one tomorrow somewhere.
